Kicked in the gut
COLUMBIA CITY — From start to finish, the Columbia City versus Homestead football game certainly gave the capacity crowd their money's worth.
Those who arrived late or left early will be kicking themselves for doing so. From an opening kick-off touchdown to momentum-changing strings of unanswered scoring on both sides, and a game eventually decided by a second-chance field goal, the Northeast Hoosier Conference match-up had everything, but an Eagle win for the hometown fans at Max Gandy Athletic field, as the Spartans escaped with a 31-28 win.
"Our goal this year is to gain respect throughout the area and through out the conference," said Columbia City head coach Randy Hudgins, "And I hope people see the score and see that we have something brewing here."
The Eagles put the visitors on notice that this was not the same team that they manhandled 56-0 last year at the opening kick-off.
Junior return man Cody Wildman took the Spartan kick at his own 10 and broke through the middle and was gone on a 90-yard return to put the Eagles up 7-0 with just 15 second gone in the game.
The Columbia City defense bent against the Spartans for the entire first quarter but did not break, forcing a punt, a missed field goal attempt, and also forcing the visitors to turn the ball over on downs.
The Spartans got on the board in the second quarter scoring in 10 plays after recovering a Columbia City fumble at the Eagle 36 yard line. Homestead quarterback Zach Terrell hit running back Cody Appenzeller with a 27 yard pass to tie the score 7-7 with 6:01 left in the half.
Homestead took the lead on another 10-play drive when on a second and goal from the Columbia City two yard line Terrell scored on a keeper around the right side to put the Spartans up 14-7.
The Spartans capitalized on another Eagle miscue on Columbia City's next possession, when the Eagles coughed the ball up on the first play from scrimmage. Scoring with just 11 seconds on the clock in the first half, when Terrell picked up his third running touchdown of the game from four yards out.
Receiving the second half kick-off the Spartans put up their fourth unanswered touchdown on a 10-play drive highlighted by a third and seven pass that covered 15 yards down to the Columbia City 25 yard line. Four plays later running back Brad Mills rumbled over to put the Spartans up 28-7.
Following the kick-off the Eagle offense came alive. Quarterback Logan Rehrer completed five passes for 57 yards including consecutive passes to Connor Slavich for 35 and seven yards.
With a first and goal from the six-yard line Rehrer hit Slavich in the right front corner of the end zone to make the score 28-14.
The Eagle defense came up big on the Spartans next series forcing two fumbles the second of which Columbia City's Garrett Cormany recovered on the Columbia City 49 yard line.
Columbia City went to work having a 30-yard gain on a pass to Slavich called back on a penalty. The Eagles, facing a fourth and 15, dropped back to punt but Rehrer completed a 41-yard pass on the fake, hooking up with receiver Thomas De La Cruz all the way down to the Spartan eight yard line.
Six plays later, aided by an interference penalty on the Spartans, Rehrer took the ball over from the one to close the gap to 28-21 with 9:29 left in the game.
The Columbia City defense held the Spartans and took over on downs at the 5:04 mark at their own, and began a score-tying drive. The drive featured passes of 12 and 22 yards to DeLaCruz. Columbia City capped the drive with a 47-yard strike from Rehrer to De La Cruz that knotted the score 28-28.
The Eagles had their shot at breaking the Spartans 15-year winning streak following an Eagle interception of Terrell. With 16 seconds left the Eagles Devin Rice tried a 35-yard field goal against the wind. The ball came out low and the Spartans were able to block the attempt.
Homestead took over and moved the ball down to the Columbia City 25 yard line behind 33 and 12 yard completions. With nine seconds left in the game, the Spartans lined up for a 42-yard field gaol attempt. Even with the wind the attempt fell well short and it appeared that the game was headed for overtime, but the Eagles were whistled for running into the kicker.
Homestead kicker Austin Wilburn converted the 37-yard attempt as time ran out to give the Spartans the 31-28 win.
"Our kids showed a level of toughness that we have just rarely seen, to come back against Homestead," Hudgins said. "To come back from a deficit of 21 points to have a chance to win in the second half is really all we can ask of them. I just can't be prouder of these kids."

I moved to Orange recently, biggest mistake of my life. For the 3rd time in a month, I've had no network signal at home so cannot make or receive calls. Calling Orange customer services is a nightmare as they cut you off after you've been put on hold for at least 45 mins, & then nobody has the decency to call you back, even though I gave them my landline. The last time they said the mast in Harrow was down & it could take 2 weeks to repair!! For a big company like Orange (EE) this is appalling. Piece of advice to anyone thinking of moving to Orange......DON'T!! Worst company ever.

Been with Orange always.

However they have started charging me for calling voice mail, something they have never done and this added £10 to my bill. Apparently they can't do anything about it, even when I asked for the PAC code to move to TESCO. What a weird company.

Things were ok after switching from Voda until start of summer. Suddenly experienced no signal in certain places including my workplace which had been fine. Been to phones4u, orange and EE stores yo complain, was told it was temporary, then tried sorting the phone with various resets. No different. Was told to write to Orange who had yo respond within 5 days. 10 days later I get an abrupt and unsympathetic woman on the line who says I have never complained of poor signal before (this is 4 months after ininitial complaint). Puts me through to a technician who tries one thing, doesn't work. "We could send you a booster, but we don't do it with businesses, as you're issue is at work, I'll have to speak to the boss. I'll call you back". Two weeks later, I've heard nothing and in the same situation. Absolute joke. Worst provider I've ever been with.

I have been with Orange since December last year. Unable to login to my account. Help lines useless long delays and when you get through their messages the person lies to you. I have been told 3 times problem would be fixed in 2 days. Now 9 months. Could not find an email or postal address to write to on their website. Eventually got through to their correspondence address. No joy still not fixed (9 months now). Complained to CISAS and asked for £100 compensation. Orange paid up but CISAS said their was nothing wrong with their website, their 150 service and felt it was OK for Orange to claim they ere "totally committed to excellent customer care".
I suggest anyone who is unable to login to their account writes to Orange 'firstname.lastname@example.com' and asks for £100.

Before I went on my year abroad, I rang orange and asked them to suspend my contract so then I wouldn't have to worry about paying my bill each month. They said they would arrange this and not to worry. Find out a month later when my bill is due that they haven't done this and I ring them again, same result. After 3 more tries and the same information I've given up. Would suggest avoiding Orange all together.

Orange has a poorly maintained network with poor signal coverage for voice calls across quite a few areas in the midlands UK. Also issues with overloaded network dropping calls. Poor value for money and lack of flexibility in contract packages. Customer service is very poor and very time consuming with problems rarely resolved. They do not offer an acceptable service but then neither do most of the other mobile phone operators.

The prices of Orange are certainly not competitive, they charge ten times more than some of the competitors for minutes and for internet. So you would expect at least decent service, but that is not the case. For 6 weeks now I am trying to get an answer to a simple question, but promised call backs never happen, there is no email support, and even letters remain unanswered. I tried to complain to the executive office, but they say I have to escalate according to their plan. So again I call customer service and ask to speak to a manager - but the manager is "busy". What a Kafkaesque charade of "customer service". If things go fine, good for you, but if not, consider yourself warned.

Orange customer service is appalling as many other people have said, I have been trying to sort out a problem with billing errors on a PAYG Canary contract and it's just not possible to sort it. I have been basically told through "live chat" that there are no errors so I can't dispute it! The whole attitude is that you, as the paying customer are either wrong, stupid, lying or any two or three of the above. The service on mobile is very patchy with many areas in the South West having little or no signal. Home phone and broadband are OK as long as you don't have questions or billing queries. I have found over the years that mobile phone companies are the last bastion of terrible customer service and incomprehensible billing but Orange are the worst of all. My advice, especially if you live in a poor reception area like I do, another provider could hardly be worse.

First I made the mistake of upgrading at phones4u, the salesman in the shop never told me the unmarked phone I now had would be considered unacceptable to my Orange Insurance, had terrible problems setting it up, eventually a GREAT and FRIENDLY chap from Everything Everywhere sorted it in a very long call. It has gone wrong many times, phones4u not at all helpful and has now been back to a Nokia Shop several times as problems that bad, then a lady at Orange sold me a new plan that does not function correctly on a N8, tried to talk to them, got nowhere, sent e-mails that never get answered,so now stuck to end of contract, I think our 3 mobiles will go to another network in the near future after as I say 12+ years with Orange who seem now not to have any care for you once they sell you something.

The worst experience we have ever had.bought 30 days sim only contact. After constant overcharging canceled it, in short while received a treating letter from the 3rd party,regarding that we owed to Orange money for the 18 month contract with the free phone! Were trying to sort it out with the orange customers service, they said us that we are not on their system anymore, so they didn't have a clue know how the canceled £15 pounds sim only turned to the £250 bill. The guys from 3rd party called us "****** foreigners, who are getting free phones and making hassle". Unfortunately, they didn't know either, what that £250 was for, but promised to come and start throwing furniture from our windows. It took us 2 more weeks, lots of energy, money and worries to get it sorted. So, especially if you just came to the uk, be aware of Orange! I think they have some kind of data base of whom just came and can't stand up for themselves.and the general advice is NEVER USE ORANGE!

i purchased a blackberry mobile phone in an orange shop. i was entitled to a discount on the tariff they were offering, so therefore i picked up the phone in the knowledge that my tariff would be 18.75 a month, rather than 25.00. i then noticed after a couple months, they were charging me 25.00 and not 18.75. naturally i went to the same phone shop, and spoke to a member of staff. he firstly was co-operative but there was no apology. he said he had sorted it, and explained he would call me to confirm that the discount had now been applied. shock horror there was no phone call, and the next month still no discount. leaving me feeling rather hacked off, i again returned to the orange shop, only to be turned away as i had no proof of my paperwork. which amazed me, why he couldn't have just taken my mobile number and name, i'm almost certain he could have done something. so i returned the third time to speak to another member of staff who reassured me it was sorted and the d iscount would be applied. guess what... that's right no apology, and yes, following month still no discount!!!! this was now the 5th month after getting the phone! so i phoned the shop and spoke to another member of staff, who again did not apologise!! i asked to speak to the manager. they replied no manager in today. what about a supervisor i asked, no she replied, there was no supervisor or manager in, this was a saturday by the way! well they have finally applied the discount, but they still haven't re-embersed me for the money they've overcharged in the 6 months!! for those thinking of buying from orange, think again, so awful customer service, and no apology! oh, and don't get me started on the handset blackberry!! terrible, just terrible!!

Annoyed I agreed, they said I coud use my phone as if it were racoon but I would be charged as dolphin package. I did not trust them so I didnt use it like they said but kept to the dolphin package limits. Month goes by no phone call. another month goes by and I remember they still havent called back, yet i was still being billed for it. so I rang them they said it was all sorted. so I use dmy phone agaian. I cant remember all the ins and outs because it was so long ago but basically for a package that was suppose to be £10 or £15 a month what ever it was I ended up owing them nearly a £1000 in debt, which i couldnt afford and helped ruin my life, thanxs orange way to go. but looking back i should have sued them seeing as they put me on an unagreed contract, which I have proof of the doplhin package I should have been on but alas hard to prove what package their charges were reflecting as it was so long ago and the sim was made inactive. they are a terrible network and company. get a pay as u go is my advise. network i dont dont kno up the individual. i use vodafone myself they are ok customer service is okish but they dont have very good online customer service only over phone

Perhaps this is the worst mobile network in the UK. Its signal coverage was worst but now has been improved since it has joined with T mobile network. Some of my collegues still have it & I'v seen how frustrated they are with network.

They over charged me over a period of months and when i decided to leave they gave me bills that supposedly i has never paid the full amount, i asked for an itemised bill during the time i was waiting to recieve the bill, i recieved another bill telling me that i not paid and the bill had gone up.

Moved from Vodafone, BIG MISTAKE!! In every measurable way Orange is inferior. The signal is terrible wherever you go, and even when you can get signal the Internet is slow, and unreliable. I am not surprised that Orange is losing customers, given its shameful lack of useful customer services! and the idiots they have in their customer services centres, deserve an award of their own. oh and of course the increase in Monthly Charges, even when you are mid term! luckily I only have a few months to go, and have been able to prevent a few others making a big mistake!

I can't rate the network as the service that was supposed to sell me my phone was so rubbish! Having been put off buying a handset in a orange shop by the gormless sales staff... I decided to try my luck online. I received receipt of my order and eagerly awaited the arrival of my phone. No phone but I did get a dodgy looking email with my name and the order reference incorrect informing me that the payment failed. I rang orange, gave them my details again... only to be called by my bank to check why 2 payments were being drawn out of my account!!! Anyway the result of the tussle between my bank and stupid orange has been that two weeks later I am still phoneless and orange hadn't even had the decency to call me to let me know what has happened to the order. Avoid them if you are looking for your next handset!

Moved to Orange having been with o2 for years. Big mistake! . I've had problems from day one with Orange. Connection didn't start on the day it should have & had to wait another 2 days. Phone became totally unresponsive on day 20 of having the phone. Although Orange confirmed there was a fault with the phone 3 days later they informed me they would only give me a refurbished phone and not a new one as I had had the phone more than14 days. However nowhere in writing or verbally was I advised that this was their policy. Customer services are patronising, unhelpful and in my experience their knowledge of phones is limited. Customer services and the shop staff give different advice. I would prefer to cancel my contract with Orange but they've told me I can't do that either. My advice is to keep well clear of Orange. Looking forward to going bak to O2 who have better customer services and their coverage is better too.

The people who you speak to on the end of the phone are just doing there job, so lets not give them grief. NOTE 3 uk cheap prices phones and plans, they have been voted worst for customer service, had dealings with O2 and vodafone both poor coverage and signal, both of them have increased call charges a lot to compensate for the price index increase , Orange just increased line rental. so too all Orange customers please stop giving bad reviews its so easy to criticise and harder to praise, people below with nothing else to think about in life other than there phones behave and shut up.

Had an Orange internet dongle on an 18 month contract, signal died 16 months in. Customer services useless, thankfully the contract ended shortly after so I switched to 3. Have been on Orange PAYG for many years now, would have to admit that their signal strength has never been an issue for me even when living in Snowdonia. They have pretty good price tariffs, I think I'm on Dolphin which works great for me. The only bugbear I have recently is that I bought a new PAYG phone using credit from my Orange phone fund. Yet again had to deal with their appauling customer services which reminded me just how bad they are! It's been 48 hours now and my phone is still showing INVALID SIM. Currently without a mobile phone and about to leave on a 150 mile journey up North this afternoon...lets hope I don't break down! Also Orange are very secretive about their free customer service numbers, most numbers they advertise start 07...which to me is another indication of the contempt they have towards their customers. I think they probably deserve 1 1/2* but as 1/2 doesn't exist I'm giving them 1 star.

Watch out for roaming costs calls as well as data. Broadband is superb. Yes was realy bad in the begining but now again brilliant cheap calls was on bt far too expensive easy to get broadband service and pri cing or even to sign up call 150 options 1-4-1 we do it in our area so much quicker.

About the same time I started getting dodgy text messages which I find are costing me £3.00 a time I have tried barring software complaining to Orange texting stop to the perpetrators logged with TPS but still get charged sometimes as much as £12.00 a month due for a change in Dec so might look elsewhere.

My recommendation is never ever go through Orange - customer service is just terrible. I have a 2 year contract with Orange and just over 6 months in to my contract my Motorola flipout phone is not working - it freezes and when you want to make a call it can take forever to get a line. In the words of Orange - not our problem speak to someone at Motorola - so they are happy to recommend this phone when they are just about to get my business but once something goes wrong with the phone they just don't want to know. So now I'm left with a further year and a half on my contract and no working phone - so Orange will keep taking their money and I'll have nothing out of this deal. Surely it's only right that you have a phone in working order for the length of your contract. By the way this is the second phone from orange that I've had a problem with - it doesn't matter that they don't make the phones, they should be aiming to help their customers for their own good na me not just turning their backs on you.

He said i could not do that as outside of return period and breach of contract and Orange would take me to court. I said good as i could prove by credit card statements that refund had not been paid and bank would verify that was true and correct. I was then put on hold as he went to consult Line Manager/ Supervisor. Another person came onto the line and said as a gesture of *goodwill only* would credit account I said thank you and Good bye.

I have a PAYG account with Orange and use the online service for topping up, changing details etc. Until recently I have not used the answering machine. I did not switch this on....it is on by default which I feel is taking a liberty. I found the charge for using it to be excessive and decided to switch the answering machine off. I spent some time online searching for a method to turn this off via the automated menu system only to find you have to speak to customer services and incur a charge to do so. I eventually found a way around this by adjusting the outgoing message and switching the machine off from there, only to find out that I have been charged £1.33 despite using the menu system and never speaking to a human in the process. I complained via email to their customer services team only to receive a reply that I needed to phone them using the 450 number for "security reasons". I had already given them my name address and mobile number in the email and copied the call charge information off my online account page, why did they need me to ring them? Why couldn't they ring me? If I phone to complain about unfair call charges I get charged for complaining! I generally use my mobile as little as possible as I consider them one of the biggest rip-offs in the UK. they use every conceivable way to charge as much as possible at every opportunity. If people were a bit more demanding we would get much better service and call charges, as it stands we are getting mugged by these massive companies and the "competition" between them is more like a cartel. Ofcom is useless in dealing with these money-grabbing rip-off companies and we therefore have no way of making our opinions heard.

I then added enough credit, called back and spoke to someone in India who said it would take 7 to 14 days, I gave all my details including email address, postal address and IMEI. After 14 days, nothing happened, I called back and spoke to someone in Philippines. She told me it hadn't been completed because they didn't have my email address!

Orange, and in particular their Customer Service team are quite possibly the most offensive and disgusting customer support team I have ever dealt with. I returned from a short holiday to Belgium to find out that my bill for that period was up to £900 (incl VAT) - a good £850 more than usual. When I asked why this had happened, it appeared that the call to 150 I had made prior to going away to set up international data roaming and reduced call costs in order to keep in contact with my pregnant wife had not been added onto the account by the CS agent based in (i am guessing) India. I had been on the phone to her for 9 minutes, and she had done NOTHING. not even made a note on the account. I discussed the issue with 4 other Orange employees, and strangely they all had different stories about what packages were available - their product knowledge is shocking it would seem. I was then told that I had been given duff information (they admitted that at least) and would be offered a reduced payment of £650 to compensate this - I would however have to make the decision then and there as it would not stay valid for any time - i.e. they tried to get me over a barrel. Since then, having refused the "offer" it has been escalated to a Manager who has now offered my a reduced price of £160 which is completely unacceptable to me. By their own admission I was given duff information by a CS agent who knew nothing of my language or Orange's packages - and am being asked to pay 3 times my usual bill for their mistakes. Not on Orange. I plan to take the company to court unless they resolve this in my favour. Myself and my wife have suffered undue stress over this, let alone the hours I have spent chasing and speaking to them. Disgusting. Once this is resolved, I am going to buy myself out of my contract and most likely move to O2.

The school's mission is to offer professional flight instruction for a variety of licenses, ratings and endorsements. To learn more about the flight school, skim through the web pages here and if you have any questions, please give us a call at 540-374-1715.
JLS Aviation operates under a Flight School Certificate issued by the Virginia Department of Aviation. All the aircraft are maintained strictly in accordance with all FAA and manufacturers requirements. Each aircraft is inspected by an FAA licensed Aircraft Maintenance Technician after each 50 hours of operation, and undergoes a complete service after each 100 hours of operation. All aircraft (except the Ercoupe) are certified for operations in instrument conditions.
The Flight School is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration to operate as a Part 141 Flight School for Private, Instrument and Commercial and CFI-I Courses. The Instrument, Commercial and CFI-I courses are accredited by the VA and eligible veterans may enroll in these courses under the GI Bill. This means that in some cases students will be able to complete training for a license or rating in less time and with the added assurance that the program meets oversight requirements that exceed most flight schools.
JLS Aviation owns and operates a Redbird Advance Aviation Training Device. This flight simulator allows us to teach and evaluate VFR students under a variety of conditions for various contingencies that may not be duplicated in flight. It also allows us to teach almost all instrument tasks pursuant to instrument instruction, including currency requirements for pilots who hold an Instrument - Airplane rating. The Chief Instructor has completed the first Redbird Instructors Course and we are now expanding the training available on the simulator to include training tasks for Private Pilot student.

Elizabeth Warren stepped up her attacks against Scott Brown over women's issues Tuesday as a new poll showed her trailing the Republican senator by 5 points.
The automated phone survey conducted Aug. 16 to Aug. 19 by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic leaning firm, indicated Brown ahead 49 percent to 44 percent, the first time he has led in the firm's polling since June 2011. The poll's margin of error is 2.9 percentage points. The survey also found that Brown led with men by more than 20 percentage points, while Warren led among women by 9 points.

Selena's star still burns bright 21 years after her death, as the Queen of Tejano music finally gets her place on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced Tuesday the Walk of Fame Class of 2017, honoring luminaries from motion pictures, television, recording, radio and live theater.
Selena Quintanilla is just one of 34 new honorees who will each be recognized in a ceremony in the new year. Quintanilla, a successful recording artist and fashion designer, was just 23 when murdered in 1995 by the president of her fan club.
Quintanilla's death sent shock waves through the music industry and beyond, with her funeral...

According to the latest rumor, the international-bound HTC DLX is on track to debut in Asian starting in early December and will be available in white, black and brown. The latest details claim that the handset will debut in China on December 6th and a Taiwan launch is scheduled for December 10th. To differentiate the HTC DLX from the HTC J Butterfly, the handset will feature red accents around the front and back of the device – similar to the European HTC One X+.
While a European launch of the HTC DLX is still unconfirmed at this time, we still have hope. We have a feeling that we'll be learning about the HTC international launch plans for the HTC DLX once Verizon and HTC unveil the DROID DNA tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Grand Island Fire Co.
Grand Island Fire Co. Chief Kevin Koch reports that several Grand Island firefighters recently completed a special school bus extrication course, which better prepared responders facing a mass casualty incident involving children and their support staff - drivers, monitors, etc.
He noted that the Grand Island Central School District generously donated a bus for hands-on training at the Sheridan Park Volunteer Fire Department, where approximately 30 Western New York volunteers learned technical aspects of unique school bus construction, escape mechanisms, etc.
Jeremiah Anderson, Jon Cinelli, Tim Krecisz, John Podlucky and Mark Sadkowski successfully completed this two-day program on Aug. 1
Congratulations to these GIFC volunteers, who chose to set aside their personal lives to further expand individual as well as fire company capabilities.

For Nick Toscano, spring break is no day at the beach. Instead of taking a vacation, the Suffolk University junior will travel to Denver, Colorado, to help build homes with Habitat for Humanity.
And senior Erin Bessette will volunteer through the University's Alternative Spring Break program for the third consecutive year. She and fellow students will work with two local Boys and Girls Clubs and a food bank in Puerto Rico.
Learning through service
"I go on these trips because I learn a lot about myself and the place I'm serving, as well as getting to know other members of the Suffolk community," says Bessette. "It's another way to work towards lessening the inequalities we see in and around the U.S., and that type of work is of the utmost importance to me."
Suffolk's 13th annual Alternative Spring Break program, coordinated by the S.O.U.L.S. Center for Community Engagement, offers students an opportunity to perform meaningful service during the March respite.
"Alternative Spring Break is a great experience because it allows different groups of people to briefly intersect, with positive and lasting results," says Toscano, who is returning for a second year as an Alternative Spring Break trip leader. "ASB has changed my life, … and we have changed the world."
An eye-opener
Nancy Afonso, a junior, helped to build a home in Athens, Georgia, while a freshman. Now she is headed off to Meridian, Mississippi, to help provide a family she has never met with a place they can call home.
"It's such a unique experience to be part of Alternative Spring Break," says Afonso. "It really opens your eyes to how other people live and how these community service organizations give people opportunities that they otherwise wouldn't have."
Addressing social justice issues
This year teams of 12 students, accompanied by University staff members, will engage in work related to social justice issues, such as poverty relief, environmental conservation, LBGTQ advocacy and community development, in the following locations:
- Atlanta
- Delaplane and Triangle, Virginia
- Denver
- Georgetown, Delaware
- Gulfport and Meridian, Mississippi
- Newland, North Carolina
- Passadumkeag, Maine (Penobscot Indian Nation)
- Philadelphia (two locations)
- Puerto Rico
"What we hear back from students is that this is a life-changing experience for them," says Carolina Garcia, director of the S.O.U.L.S. Center for Community Engagement. "They get to step into a whole new part of the country for a week, help to make a difference for people of all ages and from all walks of life, and learn about social justice issues."
People power
Garcia, who will accompany the group heading to Puerto Rico, says that people at the food bank there are delighted that a group of Suffolk students will be assisting them.
"They have received many donations but haven't been able to get them to the families in need because they don't have the people power," says Garcia. "With our help, they will be able to get supplies out next week."
Follow along
While on their service trips, students will be sharing their experiences via social media. Their photos, videos, and tweets will be collected on our Alternative Spring Break Tumblr site, or you can follow along via Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #suffolkasb.
Check back throughout the week for updates from the students, as well as additional photos and reports from Suffolk staff on site to document the experience.

Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans.
Using an electric mixer cream butter until fluffy. Add granulated sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed.
Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Level batter in each pan by holding pan 4 inches above counter dropping it flat onto counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Filling: While cake is baking, in a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and milk. Cook and stir over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Remove cake layers from oven and allow cake to remain in pans as you prepare to stack and fill. Remove first layer and invert onto cake plate. Pierce cake layer with a toothpick over entire surface. Spread 1/3 of filling mixture on cake layer. Top with second layer, repeat process. Top with last layer and repeat process again.
Frosting: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat with a handheld electric mixer until it reaches a spreading consistency. At this time it may be necessary to add a tablespoon of heavy cream, or more, if frosting gets too thick. Be sure to add cream in small amounts because you can always "add to", but you can't take away. Frost cake and sprinkle top with chopped nuts, if desired.
*Cook's Note: As you stack layers together, stick them with toothpicks to prevent cake from shifting.

In this newly released book trailer — think movie trailer without the voice-overs and dramatic music — George W. Bush previews his memoir, Decision Points .
Bush calls the book "untraditional," so don't expect a chronological blow-by-blow of his life. Instead the former president says it will focus on the most "demanding and important part of the job, making decisions."
Decision 1: Quitting drinking at age 40 (a decision he "could not have made without faith").
Decision 2: Running for president ("one of the toughest decisions of my life").
Decision 3: Who to include in the Cabinet ("presidential decisions are shaped by the people around you")..
Decisions 4 & 5: Bush lumps reforming education and setting stem cell research together, calling them both early decisions.
Decision 6: Starting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 (9/11 "changed the course of history" and sending troops into battle is the "hardest decision any president can make.")
Decision 7: Rethinking America's war strategy and sending more troops to Iraq as part of the "surge."
Decision 8: Decisions to push and abandon social security and immigration reform.
Decision 9: The response to Hurricane Katrina, for which his administration was widely criticized.
Decision 10: The lifelong free market supporter ends his book with the economic crisis and his decision to "set ideology aside to prevent an economic collapse."
Decision Points will be released on November 9. The publisher has printed 1.5 million copies in the first run.

Maybe your eyes lit up when you saw the Logitech Wireless Boombox announcement earlier, because you're in the market for a portable speaker. But the Bluetooth connectivity does add to the price taking it over the £100 barrier.
Altec Lansing may have the speaker for you if your looking to stay on the light side of a ton, with the inMotion iMT630 - which will be especially appealing for fanboys due to its iDevice dock.
Pocket-lint actually got eyes-on with the iMT630 over in IFA and we have to say it's a cool looking little speaker, with a retractable iPod dock making it even more portable.
You'll get almost 7 hours battery life from the rechargeable Lithium Ion setup, and the sound quality should be pretty good as a result of the dual 2-inch drivers.
It comes with a wireless remote, and is also compatible with the Altec Lansing iOS apps which are free in the App Store.
Available in "Classic" black, or "Sport" blue or red, the Altec Lansing inMotion iMT630 will cost you a penny shy of £100.
